hotwalls studios
Portsmouth
The Hotwalls Studios brings artists and designer-makers together in an
exceptional heritage location, to start and grow their creative ventures in an
environment of mutual support, creativity and innovation.Portsmouth has a
thriving creative sector and affordable workspace is in great demand. The Sunday
art sales that took place in the arches at Point Battery since the late 1950s
provided the inspiration for this unique project. The site has a fascinating
history as part of the city’s historic defences against invasion. In 2014,
Portsmouth City Council secured funding to transform its largely disused
buildings into a vibrant new creative quarter. Our makers work from thirteen
studios, alongside deli-style café – The Canteen.
